Registered Building Practitioner

Registered Building Practitioner - Victoria
Centre Court Lawns & Landscaping are a Registered Building Practitioner (Registered Builder: DB-L41790). The Building Act 1993 introduced major changes in building control to improve the Victorian building industry.  Of particular note, the Act introduced building permit approvals by private surveyors.  It also introduced compulsory registration and insurance for builders and certain other categories of building practitioners.  The registration category that applies to landscapers is Domestic Builder Limited and the limitation is Structural Landscaping.

Under the provisions of the Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995 (as amended February 12, 2008), you are now required to be registered as a Domestic Builder Limited, to undertake building works over $5000. According to the legislation governing this work, you must be registered to carry out building work as described in Section 5, and you will need Builders Warranty Insurance for any project over $12,000.
